Dean Kremer is a starting pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles. In 2026 he struck out 40 batters over 41.0 innings across 8 appearances, 8 of them starts, going 1-4. His ERA of 5.93 was 41.9% higher than the league average of 4.18 — the second worst on his team, and 413th of 467 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 5.89 FIP suggests the ERA was no fluke. He missed bats on 26.2% of swings (12.4% of every pitch he threw), walked 7.6% of the batters he faced and struck out 23.3%. His -0.4 dbWAR is built from that FIP rather than runs allowed, so it credits him for what he controls and not for the defence behind him.

How these are computed

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
